Everything from the cockpit being wrecked as you take hits to the propeller actually looking like a propeller (amazing, huh?) has been added. Normally, you would expect a few additions here and there, and the graphics would be somewhat nicer than in other versions, and if you expected that, you would be thrilled with what they have really done. The graphics in Red Baron 3D are superb and beyond expectations for a beefed up simulator. In the end, though, it is worth it to see the plane spiral to the ground and explode. If there is lag, though, it is really hard to fight, because even hitting an enemy takes a whole lot of work. Online play will also test you because it can get pretty hairy if there is more than 5 people in a close-quarter dogfight, which there usually is. Without radar and guided systems, the game really tests your dogfighting skills and determination. The missions are varied, as is the campaigns and the Fly Now feature can be set to random, or preset, and pits you against enemy aircraft every specified number of minutes. Though the maps can be big, and the planes are slow, there is a time compression feature that is very useful. The gameplay in Red Baron 3D is really very good with the ability to alter a large number of realism settings to change how the planes fly and whether or not you die. Even though it has a small following, it is still pretty cool. WON.net has a WWI scenario up and players run the battles and determine the outcome. Also, the multiplayer is rather good because of the constant online war going on. The sound effects must also be mentioned as a feature because they were really extensive, from the sputtering of the engine every once in a while, to the groan of the pilot as a bullet hits him.

Also, the Glide-enabled features really add to the fun and realism of the game. The game boasts a number of good features such as 3D planes, buildings, bridges, and the occasional skydiving pilot (without a parachute). Red Baron I and II were well received with their excellent take on World War I air combat, and Red Baron 3D brings back the excellence with the wonders of 3D accelerator technology and much, much more.
